Guns N Roses and Metallica stadium Tour 1992, with Soundgarden as the Opening act was and still to this day probably the best hard rock /Metal show I have ever been to. Guns played for a little more than 2 hours , and Axl, Slash and the boys were at the top of their game. From the sound of Axls Vocals to the sound and performance by the band, they kicked ASS from front to back. Axl was EVERYWHERE on that stage and his delivery was flawless!

Not soon after Guns decided they wanted to call it quits and the band broke up , NEVER to reunite because Slash and AXL are 2 babies who don’t play nice together, even for millions of dollars and what could be the biggest and best reunion tour to ever grace the planet earth. Think about for a sec, Imagine Guns actually deciding they were gonna do it, AXL and Slash and even Steven Adler for the original Appetite Lineup – dizzy reed. Is there ANYONE that was an original Guns fan that wouldn’t pay to see this show? Imagine them with a kick ass opening act also , or even a cool c0-headliner like Motley Crue for instance.

Duff McKagan recently reunited with the now version of GnR for five shows in Argetina. Adding to speculation that maybe somewhere down the line Guns will actually make it happen for the fans and the money! In the meantime Chinese Democracy was released in 2008, it took ten years to make and 15 years to be released. If you have never heard this album it for sure worth the listen. Its a great Album , and even manages to sound like Guns N roses from USE your illusion days and beyond. The album is incredibly layered and is for sure a “Studio” Album that doesn’t really lend itself to being played live,(Listen to the album and you’ll see what i mean) but somehow GnR has managed to pull it off because they’ve been touring on this record since its release.

What really pisses me off is that this guy AXL is such a perfectionist that he can’t seem to put together all the pieces required to actually release an album. This dude really does take his time in everything he does regarding music. From late night hurry up and wait for me to start the show ,to 15 year spans between album releases. Thankfully , Richard Fortus the bands guitarist confirms to various sources that the band has spent a lot of time in the studio working on a new album with most songs already completed and is hoping for a release in 2014.

Slash is kicking your ass Axl, He actually goes into the studio and makes music for the rest of the world to listen to!

I think Axl is Uber talented and really want him to win, I think there are very few front man that have his ability and sheer talent. HIS legacy unfortunately is looking like its going to be his lack of music releases! get your shit together AXL.

BTW – if you have never heard Steve Adlers newest band “ADLER” go check it out, its named “Back from the dead” and it Kicks ASS!!!!

The band’s guitarist Richard Fortus confirmed to Noise11.com that the band have spent a lot of time in the studio working on the new album, and that most of the songs are already completed.

This show is the best on tv!…I LOVE IT SO MUCH! I hope they let Yngwie Malmsteen Play guitar again on the breaks! IT WAS AWESOME last week watching and hearing him play, This dude is unbelievable on guitar!….If you’ve never heard or seen him play do yourself a favor and check out you tube to see his shredding!
They also are going to have Joe Satriani from Chickenfoot on the show, Who is no slouch on Guitar either! Don’t know who Chickenfoot is? Its a group composed of Joe Satriani (Deep Purple), Sammy Hagar, Michael Anthony(Van Halen) and Chad Smith (red hot Chili Peppers)

If you are a reader of my blog, you should know that Music is probably the greatest love in my life besides my Kids and family. Thanks to my mother who recently passed away , I was raised on the greatest music in the world. That music being 70’s classic R&B , and Motown Music. through my adolescence i Discovered everything from classic rock to Classical music that I loved and respected. Classic R&B will always have a special place in my heart especially considering that they just don’t make music like this anymore.

If you have never seen” Live from Daryl’s house”, its on PLD. People just come to his house and kind of JAM with him and the band. This episode in particular is awesome not only because its Smokey Robinson, But Daryl is such a HUGE fan of Smokey’s that you can see it in some of their interactions that he’s almost starstruck, as would anyone. Daryl even had given Smokey a demo of his to be heard when he was 17 years old. Check out the episode on youtube!

Wow. What an awesome documentary Behind the Dream is turning out to be, I’ve not seen anything like it before. You know I ride motocross so I see this show really gets across not only the commitment the rider has to give, but everybody around them invests in that one persons future. And what a future they have, whether they turn pro and get paid to do something they love, or ride for that buzz the rest of their life.

If you have never heard of THE WINERY DOGS then you are seriously missing out on one of the sickest bands to come around in a long time! Mike Portnoy, Billy Sheehan and Richie Kotzen Make up this Trio of A classic Rock type band.

Think Led Zeppelin meets Alice in Chains and SoundGarden with some Hendrix, Lenny Kravitz and Black Crowes influence. Some of the Former bands these dudes were associated with and played in, Mr Big, David Lee Roth, Poison, Dream Theater.

Billy Sheehan is in my opinion one of the greatest Bass players to Ever walk earth and Portnoy plays with the same kind raw and energetic emotion that a young Neil Peart played with, And Kotzen Kills it on every song! These dudes are SERIOUS! ….one of the best bands I’ve heard in a LONG LONG TIME! Check out That Metal Show this Saturday To find out more about them.

Also Vinnie Paul from HELL YEAH(formerly of Pantera) will be there too! AND fuckin YNGWIE F***ING MALMSTEEN!!!playing guitar to the breaks. If you have never heard Yngwie play , you haven’t Lived. Seriously probably one of the top ten guitarists in History. He’s that good.

I’m not a huge fan of Amercian Idol, but I’ve been watching this year . Caleb is the man to beat, and Jena is really a contender also. Last night Jessica took on a Fleetwood Mac (Stevie Nicks) on IMO she really Nailed it. It takes real confidence in yourself to make this happen.

There are a few artists out there IMO (Mariah,Whitney,Michael Jackson and maybe Celine Dion) who should never be taken on, especially in a contest as big as this, unless your damn sure you can do it justice or really make it your own. I love Stevie Nicks and Fleetwood Mac . I can listen to her sing for hours and be totally taken by her voice and Presence.

The judges didn’t seem to feel it as much as I’m saying, but I think there is a disconnect sometimes about being there in the audience and how it comes off on TV. She sang Rhiannon, A huge song for Stevie, and Jessica REALLY sounded great. You have to be really unique to sound like Stevie, and Jessica really did the song and Stevie Justice. I hope she goes far in the Competition. If you are a fan of Fleetwood Mac or would like to be I’ve included Access here to Download their Greatest hits CD called the Very Best of.

The last time Dan Henderson had his hand raised after a fight was on Nov. 19, 2011, after a five-round battle with Mauricio Rua. They will meet again 856 days later in UFC Fight Night 38’s main event in Natal, Brazil, and the former PRIDE champion feels ready to get back on track.

Henderson and “Shogun” headlined UFC 139 card in San Jose, Calif., and the Team Quest veteran dominated the first three rounds. He gassed, and the Brazilian got the best of him in the later rounds.

“Not to punch myself out trying to finish him because he’s hard to finish,” Henderson told MMAFighting.com when asked about the lessons he learned in their first encounter. “I’ll take my shots a little better.

“I’m excited to come down here and fight. I’m already used to hear the (Brazilian) fans say I’m going to die, so I want to come down here and prove them wrong (laughs).”

UFC champion Jon Jones was the only man capable of finishing “Shogun” with strikes during his 12-year MMA career, but Henderson is confident he can do it.

“I’m capable of finishing him, but it doesn’t always happens when you want, so I’m ready to go five rounds,” he said. “I’m excited about it.”

“Shogun” still thinks the first fight should have been a draw. Henderson disagrees.

“He was trying to finish me in the last round, and I know that one of the criteria to get a 10-8 is when you’re close to get finished,” he said. “He had the mount most of the fifth round but he wasn’t doing much to me. He was so tired he didn’t hurt me. If you score that way, the third round was also a 10-8. It is what it is.”

Coming off three straight losses under the UFC banner, Henderson won’t play it safe to get back to the win column.

“I don’t know if it affects my strategy at all,” he said about the losses. “Just make sure to control the fight a little bit better, making sure I don’t end up on the bottom.”

“In my mind, I’m not coming off three losses, but it’s still three losses,” he continued. “I don’t want a fourth on that, for sure. In the first, Rashad, I felt should have gone other way. It was a close fight, it’s not like I was beat up for three fights. It’s a little bit extra motivation, I guess, to make sure it doesn’t happen again, but it won’t change my strategy in the fight.

For those who don’t know, Kiss has finally been inducted into the Rock N roll Hall of fame (RRHOF) this year. Although they are being inducted, the RRHOF being the complete idiots that they are have found a way to Snubb Kiss’s induction even in their 40th Anniversary year the RRHOF have stated that they are only inducting the Original 4 members Ace,Paul, Gene , and Peter Criss.

Some of the current members stint in the band like Tommy Thayer and Eric Singer have actually been in the band longer than the original drummer Peter Criss . Also the late Eric Carr who replaced Peter had played in the band for 11 years before his death. He is also not being inducted which is horrible.Bruce Kulick also a long time member , Vinnie Vincent (Huge contributor to Kiss Sans Makeup) all not being inducted. This is wrong on so many…
